AZAINDOLE DERIVATIVE HAVING AMPK-ACTIVATING ACTIVITY [Field of the Invention] [0001]

The present invention relates to a compound which has an activating effect on adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (hereinafter referred to as AMPK) and is useful as a medicine.

[Background Art] [0002]

AMPK is a serine-threonine kinase, which is activated by AMP, and has three subunits, α, β and γ. In each subunit, there exist multiple isoforms (al, a2, β 1, β2, γΐ, γ2 and γ3).

AMPK is involved in various physiological functions, such as suppression of gluconeogenesis and inhibition of fatty acid synthesis in liver and incorporation of sugars and an increase in fatty acid oxidation in skeletal muscles, as an energy sensor in living organisms, and has attracted attention as a target molecule of a therapeutic agent for diabetes. Therefore, an AMPK activator is expected to be effective in the treatment of diabetes as an insulin resistance improving drug, which has an insulin independent hypoglycemic effect and a lipid improving effect (NonPatent Document 1).

Evaluation method of an activator for AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) (Test Example 1)

To a buffer solution consisting of a 50 mM HEPES’NaOH buffer solution (pH 7.0), 100 mM NaCl, 10 mM magnesium chloride, 0.1% bovine serum albumin, 0.2 mM sodium orthovanadate(V), 1 mM ethylene glycol-bis(2-aminoethyl ether)’N,N,N',N'· tetraacetic acid (EGTA), 5 mM disodium β-glycerophosphate and 2 mM dithiothreitol, a human AMPK αϊβίγΐ enzyme (manufactured by Carna Biosciences, Inc.) was added in an amount to give a conversion rate of approximately 10% by reaction for 2 hours, and a compound dissolved in DMSO was added thereto so as to have a 1% DMSO concentration. The obtained liquid was left to stand for 10 minutes.

To the liquid, a substrate solution consisting of a 50 mM HEPES’NaOH buffer solution (pH 7.0), 100 mM NaCl, 10 mM magnesium chloride, 0.1% bovine serum albumin, 0.2 mM sodium orthovanadate(V), 1 mM ethylene glycol’bis(2’aminoethyl ether)-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid (EGTA), 5 mM disodium β-glycerophosphate, 2 mM dithiothreitol, 0.4 mM ATP and 3 μΜ FL’Peptide 7 (manufactured by Caliper Life Sciences, Inc.) was added in equal amount (10 μΐ in total). The obtained liquid was allowed to react at 25°C for 2 hours, and 10 μΐ of 20 mM EDTA was then added thereto to stop the reaction.

To detect phosphorylated fluorescent substrates, the reaction liquid was applied to a measuring device, LabChip EZ Reader II manufactured by Caliper Life Science, Inc., for detecting fluorescence by using differences in mobility due to differences in charge. The setting conditions for the device were pressure, Ί.5 PSP upstream voltage, -2250 V; downstream voltage, -400 V; post sample buffer sip time, 40 seconds! final delay, 120 seconds! and peak order, Product First.

A conversion rate was calculated from the peak heights of the resulting substrate and product. The conversion rate when not containing a compound was used as a control, and a concentration dependent curve was made by plotting the rate of increase in activity to the control at each concentration of a compound. The compound concentration showing 150% relative to the control (100%) was used as the EC 150 value, and the maximum rate of increase in activity within the measurement range was used as Emax.

Preparation method of human AMPK α2β2γ1

The full length cDNAs of human AMPK β2 (NM_005399.3) and human AMPK a2 (NM_006252.3) were inserted into the MCS1 and MCS2 of the pETDuet-1 vector to prepare a human AMPK β2 and human AMPK a2 (6x His tag at the 5' terminus) expressing plasmid. The plasmid was cotransfected with an expression plasmid, in which the full length cDNA of human AMPK γΐ (NM_002733.3) had been inserted into pET28b(+), into BL21 CodonPlus (DE3)-RIL to obtain an expression strain. The expression strain was cultured in TB medium, followed by induction with 0.5 mM IPTG, and cultured at 25°C for 3 hours and then harvested. After ultrasonication, supernatant was collected and applied to Histrap FF column (GE) and RESOUECE Q column (GE) to prepare 12.5 mg of purified sample containing three types of subunit from 1.8 L of broth.

Evaluation method of an activator for AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) (Test Example 2)

Human AMPK α2β2γ1 prepared in Escherichia coli was not phosphorylated and did not exhibit activity. Thus, phosphorylation treatment was carried out as pretreatment.

Human AMPK α2β2γ1 in an amount to give a conversion rate of approximately 10% by reaction for 2 hours, and CaMKK2 in an amount capable of sufficiently imparting activity to AMPK for one hour were mixed in a buffer solution consisting of a 50 mM HEPES-NaOH buffer solution (pH 7.0), 100 mM NaCl, 5 mM magnesium chloride, 0.1% bovine serum albumin, 0.2 mM sodium orthovanadate(V), 1 mM ethylene glycol-bis(2-aminoethyl ether)-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid (EGTA), 5 mM disodium β-glycerophosphate, 1 mM dithiothreitol and 0.2 mM ATP, and the obtained liquid was left to stand at 25°C for 1 to 1.5 hours to sufficiently phosphorylate AMPK.

After that, to the enzyme liquid, which had been subjected to phosphorylation treatment, a compound dissolved in DMSO was added so as to have a 1% DMSO concentration. The obtained liquid was left to stand for 10 minutes.

To the liquid, a substrate solution consisting of a 50 mM HEPES-NaOH buffer solution (pH 7.0), 100 mM NaCl, 10 mM magnesium chloride, 0.1% bovine serum albumin, 0.2 mM sodium orthovanadate(V), 1 mM ethylene glycol-bis(2-aminoethyl ether)-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid (EGTA), 5 mM disodium β-glycerophosphate, 2 mM dithiothreitol, 0.4 mM ATP and 3 μΜ FL-Peptide 7 (manufactured by Caliper Life Sciences, Inc.) was added in equal amount (10 μΐ in total). The obtained liquid was allowed to react at 25°C for 2 hours, and 10 μΐ of 20 mM EDTA was then added thereto to stop the reaction.

To detect phosphorylated fluorescent substrates, the reaction liquid was applied to a measuring device, LabChip EZ Reader II manufactured by Caliper Life Science, Inc., for detecting fluorescence by using differences in mobility due to differences in charge. The setting conditions for the device were pressure, -1.5 PSL upstream voltage, -2250 V; downstream voltage, -400 V; post sample buffer sip time, 40 seconds! final delay, 120 seconds! and peak order, Product First.
